As someone who would like to SOMEDAY start their furniture flipping journey, I can say that if I started with the 180 grit and still had scratches, my thinking would have been to get more aggressive and not less aggressive sand paper. Very much appreciate your wisdom and also very much enjoying your videos. Thanks for posting!
To think we almost lost this piece of art but along you came to the rescue. Thank you for that and the inspiration and knowhow you provided. So grateful.
I’m so glad you don’t try to make your pieces showroom perfect. I love the little imperfections that show the pieces have lived a life and have the scars to prove it ( don’t we all??). I hope to one day find a treasure beside the road and bring it back to life. You’re amazing, and my hero.
I enjoy your channel. You have a very pleasant voice and you always restore where possible unlike some other people who are too keen to paint a piece pink and cover it with sequins
Beautiful save of a vintage dresser. I haven't seen a cufflink tray since I was a kid, in my father's dresser back in the 1960's. Brought back fond memories.
By the time you're finished with a piece, it just glows! Who could have imagined that beat up old dresser could be a thing of beauty? Great job, as always.
Those drawer pulls are amazing, an Art Deco touch to a mid century piece, very clever and together they make a statement: "I'm one of a kind and I'm Beautiful!"
Angie, you never cease to amaze me....wow! Can't believe what people throw out. It's crazy in my neighborhood. People are constantly throwing things out similar to this.....I'm already teaching my kids what to look for. Furniture today just isn't made like this. Can't get the same value for the money today.
That really is a lovely piece. I can’t believe someone just threw it out. I love the little built in dish which I assume was for cufflinks or whatever.
My first thought was ash tray (it's from the 30s, after all lol), but then I came to my senses and realized it is probably earnings or, like you said, cufflinks.
I am laughing so hard at myself right now! I was all in a huff and about to report this comment as unkind for calling a person a goat, and in all caps no less! Until I saw a very important person had actually "liked" it! I strained my brain and finally figured out it (probably) stood for "greatest of all times"! And that's absolutely true!! If I told my granddaughter about this, she would roll her eyes, shake her head and in complete exasperation say Nana!! I don't understand all the acronyms any more than I understand why someone would treat a piece of furniture so carelessly! But as long as you are the one to find it, I know it will be restored to it's former beauty! 😁👏💖
I laughed first at "good foot", then at "straight curve". (Good foot was an old James Brown song). I wish I still had my grandmother's furniture. It was like this piece; very well made. I'm so glad you used Odie's Oil on it. It is perfect for this piece.
I respect that you allowed the piece to shine while not trying to hide it's age/history/stories. I view as imperfectly perfect. Every ding and scratch was earned. She's a beauty!
This is a really beautiful outcome for this piece! I love, love, love that you don't stress about making it perfect and are not afraid to let your watchers know that sometimes it just isn't possible. Your videos are always worth watching - multiple times. Cheers!
It’s sooo wonderful to see you save this old furniture. My relatives had furniture similar to this when I was a child - makes me sad because I’m sure most of it is gone. You are an artist and a hero.
Wow... that turned out beautifully. It actually ended up feeling like a contemporary piece, not vintage at all! I'd be honored to house that piece in my place. Great job!
Angie, you are the BEST at furniture rescue. This one has such beautiful bones and I'm glad you recognized that and restored her for her next life. I don't mind the little scars and dings, either. Someone is going to love and treasure this piece for years to come. Thank you.
I bought my first jar of Odies in August and am about 2/3 thru it. I love the smell, how great it makes the wood look, how it is non toxic and that I don’t have to take the time to do a poly coat on the wood. Well worth it and I sing it’s praises to everyone!
Beautiful piece! Thanks for keeping it as close to original as you could. The best is always the original wood luster showing through. You are quite the artist!!❤❤❤❤❤
Honestly, I don't think I'd want a piece like this to be perfect. With it's age came use, and you restored it with a realistic eye. This is so worth keeping for another 80 + years. Beautiful work.
You really brought that one back. It looked a little beyond saving, but shows what a lot of patience and skill can do. I really like that diagonal woodgrain that was on there. It makes it a real stand out, plus the original hardware. 🙂👍
I LOVE that you recover damaged furniture, restoring finishes where possible, and save these pieces from the landfills (I really don't like those sites where someone paints furniture for the sake of painting). Keep up your wonderful work, and thank you so very much for teaching us!
You are the Queen! Wow, this piece was in horrible shape and with your hard work, you transformed it into the piece it was. So so glad you didn’t paint it, but brought it back to its glory. Awesome job!
Personally, I really like the dings and scratches in the piece and am glad you didn’t try to hide them. Like you said, it gives the piece character. It is such a beautiful, beautiful dresser. That Odie’s really works so well. I can’t believe some fool threw it out
That is such a cool piece and those handles are amazing. I can't believe someone would treat it so badly then send it into the landfill. The dish inside the drawer seems like it could be a very high end piece. No matter what, you made it look beautiful once again. Great Job!
This turned out amazing! Gives me hope for whenever I get around to refinishing my dresser set inherited from my grandparents. They have some water rings and lots of scratches from my grandpa being rough on them while he had Alzheimer's, but overall I think they can look fantastic again one day. ♥️
WOW. This turned out stunning! Beautiful work as always. Is there an “appropriate” use for the Odie’s oil vs. wax vs. wood butter? I’m so curious how to know which is best for a project! I’m dying to try their products!
Odie’s Oil actually has an incredibly in-depth website with answers to just about any question you could have so for questions specific to Odie's I send people there - odiesoil.com/. Under the Cornwall Training School heading there is a TON of information.
Completely blown away Angie!! So well done!! You can see all the pride & care you put into this piece in the staging pics.!!! Hoping all is well, Dirty Jersey out!!
This piece is so beautiful, and deserves a second life! Job well done to you and your gorgeous supervisor!! Do you put anything on the brass hardware after cleaning away the tarnish?
Another thoroughly impressive save! Your superiority to other "experts" on the tubes is most evident, as always. I'm sure you've seen atrocities, too, so I won't belabor them.
Thank you for not painting this beautiful piece! I've always been a fan of Art Deco. You did a wonderful job of returning the dignity to this piece of history.
Esse Odie's Universal Oil é "Milagroso", super maravilhoso, quem dera tivesse aqui no Brasil algo no mínimo similar. A cômoda ficou fantástica ...adorei!!! Beijos do Rio de Janeiro.
Angie that top is just stunning with the Odie’s oil. Watching the wood transform was really cool. Do you sell your pieces exclusively on FB Marketplace?
Wow! That is a brilliant work of art. I look forward to all of your amazing accomplishments. I've watched several other furniture Restoration channels and you are the best. Thank you for not adding decals or other frilly junk to your restorations. Always a pleasure to see what you create. 💯
That is an amazing transformation. When a piece has been finished with Oddies Oil, how do you recommend the piece be maintained? Obviously regular dusting, but should you deeper clean it once a year, and if so do you need to reapply the oil or use something else?
You're amazing--I'm in awe of your talent and knowledge. I'm a sponge for your teaching! PLEASE keep it coming because you have a unique gift, truly :)
Wow!! It looks amazing! Love your approach to old furniture. The odies oil really gives it in amazing luster and it's nice that it's not coated in plastic! Agree on the pulls, so cool!
Absolutely well done, you have given that dresser a new lease of life, they last a life time, just love these old furniture, real wooden furniture, fantastic job love, 🏴🏴🏴🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
WOW!!! I'm so glad that you restored this dresser, because it's a stunner!!! I also love that you kept the hardware. Things like a tie-tack holder usually indicate that a piece of furniture is quality and you definitely made this one fabulous again!!!
I painted an older fridge with Dixie Belle paint, thanks to watching your videos. I wish I could share a pic but it turned out wonderfully! And I got to support a local business buying the paint, in the process. I love your videos. Thank you for sharing!!!
Beautiful piece! I love the way you teach and show us how you do each step, taking just the right amount of time to do a thorough job. You are very calm and matter-of-fact, which is great!
Thank you for saving this beautiful piece. I love the fancy veneer furniture from the 30's. I bought a whole Waterfall bedroom set, including the vanity w/mirror, for $60 at a yard/eviction sale. I used it for a decade before refinishing it and passing it on to my granddaughter. I wish I had of used that oil instead of clear coating it. Live and learn.
Love this transformation! Your tips along the way are always the best. I never fail to learn something new every time I watch your videos. Today? Never knew there were multiple species of mahogany used to make furniture. Your a master at these restores. Stunning!
What an absolute beauty! Don't you just love how back in the day makers made a piece more interesting by working with the wood grain, types, colors etc? You just needed some oil and you had a fabulous piece of furniture. Nowadays I pay extra to get the wood look and that is not even veneer, but printed plastic stuff 🙄. Also, gorgeous kitty!
As an antique/collectibles dealer for 61 yrs, i can truly appreciate your care & skill, & willingless to do it as right as possible; depending on the project in front of you. Sincere thank you for your attitude. Noah's Wife.
Such a classy piece; it's so good to find a furniture restorer who recognizes good furniture and doesn't just use chalk paint waay too liberally... good job!
I do a lot of full restorations but sometimes a bit of paint on lesser quality wood (and especially plastic laminate coated wood, or Formica) can keep something structurally sound from being tossed just because it’s a bit rough or dated cosmetically. But I like to restore certain woods whenever possible. 🙂
As someone who would like to SOMEDAY start their furniture flipping journey, I can say that if I started with the 180 grit and still had scratches, my thinking would have been to get more aggressive and not less aggressive sand paper. Very much appreciate your wisdom and also very much enjoying your videos. Thanks for posting!
Yes, it’s a pretty common misconception! Unfortunately, it eats up the veneer way too fast- it’s a bit different on solid wood :-)
To think we almost lost this piece of art but along you came to the rescue. Thank you for that and the inspiration and knowhow you provided. So grateful.
Lulu is a total internet star baby! So gorgeous. Hanging out with the art deco cabinet just shows her impeccable good taste!
Loving these videos.
I’m so glad you don’t try to make your pieces showroom perfect. I love the little imperfections that show the pieces have lived a life and have the scars to prove it ( don’t we all??). I hope to one day find a treasure beside the road and bring it back to life. You’re amazing, and my hero.
"( don’t we all??)" I said the same as she was telling us that. lol Who DOESN'T have a few along the way?
I enjoy your channel. You have a very pleasant voice and you always restore where possible unlike some other people who are too keen to paint a piece pink and cover it with sequins
It looks very classy now, you did a great job as usual. You should be a brand ambassador for Odies 😄
Beautiful save of a vintage dresser.
I haven't seen a cufflink tray since I was a kid, in my father's dresser back in the 1960's. Brought back fond memories.
What a transformation-well done !
I bought Odie’s oil because I love how it looks on your pieces. They should totally sponsor you.
By the time you're finished with a piece, it just glows! Who could have imagined that beat up old dresser could be a thing of beauty? Great job, as always.
Those drawer pulls are amazing, an Art Deco touch to a mid century piece, very clever and together they make a statement: "I'm one of a kind and I'm Beautiful!"
So glad you did not paint this piece, finish is absolutely gorgeous.
I was thinking the same thing.
Same!
Angie, you never cease to amaze me....wow! Can't believe what people throw out. It's crazy in my neighborhood. People are constantly throwing things out similar to this.....I'm already teaching my kids what to look for. Furniture today just isn't made like this. Can't get the same value for the money today.
That really is a lovely piece. I can’t believe someone just threw it out. I love the little built in dish which I assume was for cufflinks or whatever.
I was thinking change.
I was thinking beer
My first thought was ash tray (it's from the 30s, after all lol), but then I came to my senses and realized it is probably earnings or, like you said, cufflinks.
Maybe even a pocket watch or ladies watch?
Yes they are cufflink trays.
The wood whisperer works her magic!
You are the furniture whisperer. Another magical transformation of a trash bound piece into a bright and shining star.
Another awesome transformation! Love the different grains on the drawers and the linear detail on the cup pulls.
That finish Wow!
I can’t imagine anybody throwing that piece out. Thank you for including your fur baby so cute.
For a vintage piece, this dresser looks very modern. Beautiful job restoring this vintage piece.
I love that you can talk about the piece, the wood and the era. I also like that you try to keep as much wood as possible.
Another STUNNING rescue and transformation. I'm not even shocked at what you accomplish anymore.
Angie...everytime, you blow me away you are so talented. The best restorer on youtube by far.
You’re one of the GOATS at this!!!
I am laughing so hard at myself right now! I was all in a huff and about to report this comment as unkind for calling a person a goat, and in all caps no less! Until I saw a very important person had actually "liked" it! I strained my brain and finally figured out it (probably) stood for "greatest of all times"! And that's absolutely true!! If I told my granddaughter about this, she would roll her eyes, shake her head and in complete exasperation say Nana!! I don't understand all the acronyms any more than I understand why someone would treat a piece of furniture so carelessly! But as long as you are the one to find it, I know it will be restored to it's former beauty! 😁👏💖
I had no idea what GOATS meant until I read the comment here. 😂
I laughed first at "good foot", then at "straight curve". (Good foot was an old James Brown song).
I wish I still had my grandmother's furniture. It was like this piece; very well made.
I'm so glad you used Odie's Oil on it. It is perfect for this piece.
Ever since I started watching these videos, I cannot help but notice all the old furniture sitting out for the dump! Amazing!
There's a lot of it isn't there?
You are an Inspiration! :)@@TranscendFurnitureGallery
I’m so happy you restored this beauty to its original look. It’s absolutely beautiful! Great job! 👏💙
Your the Pygmalion of furniture flippers ❤
I respect that you allowed the piece to shine while not trying to hide it's age/history/stories. I view as imperfectly perfect. Every ding and scratch was earned. She's a beauty!
I was already jealous of your knowledge, skill and artistry; but now I'm jealous of your beautiful cat!
This is a really beautiful outcome for this piece! I love, love, love that you don't stress about making it perfect and are not afraid to let your watchers know that sometimes it just isn't possible. Your videos are always worth watching - multiple times. Cheers!
It’s sooo wonderful to see you save this old furniture. My relatives had furniture similar to this when I was a child - makes me sad because I’m sure most of it is gone. You are an artist and a hero.

I bought my first jar of Odies in August and am about 2/3 thru it. I love the smell, how great it makes the wood look, how it is non toxic and that I don’t have to take the time to do a poly coat on the wood. Well worth it and I sing it’s praises to everyone!
Thanks for the teaching on why you use the different grits of sandpaper.
Beautiful piece! Thanks for keeping it as close to original as you could. The best is always the original wood luster showing through. You are quite the artist!!❤❤❤❤❤
Honestly, I don't think I'd want a piece like this to be perfect. With it's age came use, and you restored it with a realistic eye. This is so worth keeping for another 80 + years. Beautiful work.
Thank you so much! 🙂
Kitty is so beautiful! So is the piece. 😊
It's absolutely beautiful.
Wow! You do such great work on these pieces! Beautiful! 😁
Beautiful! Natural wood tones, enhanced by the Odies with the original brass pulls shined up to new. Just a stunner 💙
Ode’s projects are by far my favorite 😍
The look is so beautiful and rich!
Phenomenal job saving this piece!!
You really brought that one back. It looked a little beyond saving, but shows what a lot of patience and skill can do. I really like that diagonal woodgrain that was on there. It makes it a real stand out, plus the original hardware. 🙂👍
I LOVE that you recover damaged furniture, restoring finishes where possible, and save these pieces from the landfills (I really don't like those sites where someone paints furniture for the sake of painting). Keep up your wonderful work, and thank you so very much for teaching us!
I cannot believe the transformation of this dresser! The TOP of the dresser is an unreal transformation! WOW
Gorgeous piece! And I LOVE LULU MUFFIN!
Wow, what an incredible result. You put so much love and respect into this piece and it really shows.
You are the Queen! Wow, this piece was in horrible shape and with your hard work, you transformed it into the piece it was. So so glad you didn’t paint it, but brought it back to its glory. Awesome job!
Awe, thank you!
Beautiful job, Angie! I love the deco details and the change cup in the drawer. The wood is really beautiful.🌸
What a beauty! Wonderful to see such a lovely fine wood brought back ...
Personally, I really like the dings and scratches in the piece and am glad you didn’t try to hide them. Like you said, it gives the piece character. It is such a beautiful, beautiful dresser. That Odie’s really works so well. I can’t believe some fool threw it out
You have inspired us that we have transformed two pieces of antique pieces ourselves🙏🙏thank you and great job!!
So beautiful! It has a deco vibe. It is obvious that you love what you do.
And to think, this was retrieved from the trash! Amazing!
Wild isn't it? Thanks so much for watching!
That is such a cool piece and those handles are amazing. I can't believe someone would treat it so badly then send it into the landfill. The dish inside the drawer seems like it could be a very high end piece. No matter what, you made it look beautiful once again. Great Job!
Wow Angie! It turned out gorgeous! It was in horrible shape, but I knew you could do it! You are the Queen my dear!
This turned out amazing! Gives me hope for whenever I get around to refinishing my dresser set inherited from my grandparents. They have some water rings and lots of scratches from my grandpa being rough on them while he had Alzheimer's, but overall I think they can look fantastic again one day. ♥️
Hell Of A Miracle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WOW. This turned out stunning! Beautiful work as always. Is there an “appropriate” use for the Odie’s oil vs. wax vs. wood butter? I’m so curious how to know which is best for a project! I’m dying to try their products!
Good question. Plus, is the finish kept up with lemon oil or something, later, or not?
Odie’s Oil actually has an incredibly in-depth website with answers to just about any question you could have so for questions specific to Odie's I send people there - odiesoil.com/. Under the Cornwall Training School heading there is a TON of information.

This piece is so beautiful, and deserves a second life! Job well done to you and your gorgeous supervisor!! Do you put anything on the brass hardware after cleaning away the tarnish?
The new finish is a window to it's past life! So pretty Angie!!🌷🌷

Gorgeous! Another beautiful transformation Angie.
What a transformation. You are a whizz. Beautiful 👏👏👏
That is an amazing transformation. When a piece has been finished with Oddies Oil, how do you recommend the piece be maintained? Obviously regular dusting, but should you deeper clean it once a year, and if so do you need to reapply the oil or use something else?
I would add to this: does it yellow over time and would it work on mcm walnut pieces?
Really Outstanding Restoration!
I know it’s not yellow anymore, but it is restored to life. Someone will love it again.💙
Thanks so much for watching! 🙂
Stunning. The hardware looks so good. Another beautiful job Angie.
Might just be the most impressive one yet. Another fine job well executed.

Wow!! It looks amazing! Love your approach to old furniture. The odies oil really gives it in amazing luster and it's nice that it's not coated in plastic! Agree on the pulls, so cool!
Beautifully restored!!! You are truly an Artist!!
Thank you rescuing this beauty from the landfill!! She deserves to live on!!
You do beautiful work!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼✨
You're very welcome! 🙂
Absolutely well done, you have given that dresser a new lease of life, they last a life time, just love these old furniture, real wooden furniture, fantastic job love, 🏴🏴🏴🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Makes me wonder how many didn't end up in good hands. Such a handsome piece. At the beginning I thought no way but you tricked me, awesome job.
I love the way you brought out the existing patterns and beauty of the wood rather than covering it over with opaque materials. Well done!
Thanks for watching!
She’s so happy you saved her. Beautiful
WOW!!! I'm so glad that you restored this dresser, because it's a stunner!!! I also love that you kept the hardware. Things like a tie-tack holder usually indicate that a piece of furniture is quality and you definitely made this one fabulous again!!!
You brought that poor baby back to life! Great job 👏🏽 as always!
Love how you transform a Dresser into a Treasure!!!!!!
I painted an older fridge with Dixie Belle paint, thanks to watching your videos. I wish I could share a pic but it turned out wonderfully! And I got to support a local business buying the paint, in the process. I love your videos. Thank you for sharing!!!
It must be so satisfying when you are done. I know I feel pretty happy at the end of your videos and I'm just watching!! :)
Incredible save especially on that top!!!
Beautiful! Vintage furniture always has character that tells a story. Never perfect but yet beautiful. 💜
Thank you so much!
Beautiful piece! I love the way you teach and show us how you do each step, taking just the right amount of time to do a thorough job. You are very calm and matter-of-fact, which is great!
Wow! What satisfaction you must feel turning something discarded into such a Gem!!!
Thank you for saving this beautiful piece. I love the fancy veneer furniture from the 30's. I bought a whole Waterfall bedroom set, including the vanity w/mirror, for $60 at a yard/eviction sale.

Love your work! Hoping that those beautiful wood pieces that so many “ flippers” and “ furniture artists” are covering with paint will be restored.
Love this transformation! Your tips along the way are always the best. I never fail to learn something new every time I watch your videos. Today? Never knew there were multiple species of mahogany used to make furniture. Your a master at these restores. Stunning!
Don’t let whoever put it in the trash see it now. They’ll want it back. Gorgeous.
What an absolute beauty! Don't you just love how back in the day makers made a piece more interesting by working with the wood grain, types, colors etc?
